You wouldn't need that much if you embraced the Reform policy (inspired by Churchill no doubt) and allowed a few millions to starve to death.

And todays winner of the internet is ... Dan Snow

"They are starting to make noises about Reform being the only ones who care about women at the moment. But they aren’t right wing, obvs. Just casually agreeing with fascists."

Interesting. Farage has spoken against maternity leave and against women in the armed forces. Neither of which lead me to believe he's much of a feminist.

He's also bragged about getting "so many" women pregnant. Given Mogg and Johnson's proclivities maybe that's a right wing thing. (Credit to Mogg for staying with one woman - or maybe that's frowned upon, I dunno).

Had a text just now to say my £56 water bill has been declined from my account. I'm chuckling a little at this because obviously I am skint but they used to take it at the beginning of the month (pay day) but since their bills have increased by 31% they must have changed their profit day. Considering we've had them polluting rivers and beaches to the point we can't swim in them and the villages have had contaminated water (free bottles given out), I am struggling to see the point. I'm hoping they have had a large proportion of their "customers" not expecting to pay them today and the headache of having to re-bill.

What exactly can they do if I refuse to pay, out of interest? Is it legal for them to cut off mains water to a house with a child in?

No amount of investment is going to magic up the extra 20,000,000 acres of farmable land needed for everyone to eat British food.
Not building on what’s left of it would be a start. But I take your point.

I’ve just seen comments along the lines of “Reform know what a woman is”. Give. Me. Strength.

ETA what I was replying to.

No, they definitely can't cut you off.
They'll send reminders - each reminder should give you 7 days to pay - eventually they can pass it on to debt collectors or apply to county court.

Even sheep don’t like Rishi 😂 https://x.com/uklabour/status/1803082104349102091?s=61&t=xKCXjKa1-S6Ks0nSd_LXGg

No, they can’t cut you off. They would take you to court and down the line send bailiffs in.

"So, did a bit of reading on this (I'm travelling, don't judge) and Vetting.com, the company they cite, does not provide vetting services, it sells a licence to use its platform to perform your own vetting. This may be why they didn't vet the candidates..."

Either Reform were too stupid to know what they bought.

Or they thought nobody would check.

Neither particularly convincing for a company that wants to run the UK.

I see David T C Davies is not happy 🤣 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/tory-minister-hits-out-after-33056336

😂😂😂😂

I think they are going to have to wait for a couple of months - lots of unexpected expenses over the last couple of months here and not much let up over the expensive summer holidays. Good to know they won't cut us off though, thank you both!

Saw this and thought it was worth posting - are we about to get a barrage of threads? I hope not. I'd get a loan for dd to go private in a heartbeat if I had to.

Oh dearie me how tiresome for him.
pits bad if the Monmouthshire locals are revolting…

I think there is some error, they can't be Tory MPs, they are not unwantedly groping and shagging each other.

Jeremy Hunt caught on tape moaning no one applauds 'our superb record'

Poor lamb

Definitely all over the boards today. Very strange switch in allegiances in some cases 🤔

Can't wait for the election so this absolute nonsense goes away

They’re asking us to believe they really, really want to vote Labour but that nasty Starmer who could get their vote “at the stroke of a pen” won’t indulge them. So they’re voting Reform instead. 🤯

I dread to think what nonsense will be appearing in two weeks’ time.

Is he fucking serious?
The self delusion is off the scale!

I like the one about 2 "home nations" parents being forced to raise their child to be proud of his English identity because all the family (and indeed the whole wold) are anti English.
Definitely one of the odder parenting choices I've seen on here 😂

My take is they think Labour will sit up and take notice if they vote Conservative or Reform over the Gender issue, which just isn’t the case. If that is an issue you care deeply about (not debating it on this thread) then I do understand, but I feel it’s an ongoing discussion to be had once we have a workable govt, which we don’t at the moment.

Plus, can’t people tell when they are being played? By Farage and Tice of all people? C’mon. Catch yersel on

Shades of Gillian Keegan.

Looks like the vetting company used by Ukip Reform wasn't actually a vetting company but a portal.

However Farage has trashed their public reputation and spaffed £144k of members subs on them

Remind me which party, in a desperate attempt to get a trade deal signed to replace the trade deal we volunteered to give up with the EU, undercut British farmers.

It does explain the Reform candidate's anti rewilding declaration that I was confused about this morning though. I suspect they just don't want farmers to get more of a profit than they currently do sans EU subsidies...again, which party leader fought so hard for that to become reality?
